"Far better an approximate answer to the right question, which is often vague, than an exact answer to the wrong question, which can always be made precise." - John W. Tukey, 1962. Adam Dunkels (Ph D), experimental computer scientist, Networked Embedded Systems group, Computer Systems Laboratory Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Kista, Sweden. My research concerns system software and TCP/IP networking for small embedded systems and wireless sensor networks. I've written some well-known software for networked embedded systems that is used in lots of interesting places such as satellites, air planes, racing car engines, oil bore holes, cargo ships, TV-transmission equipment, and in products from hundreds of companies, including ABB, Altera, BMW, Cisco, Ericsson, GE, HP, Xilinx, etc. Some recent talks. 
What does the press write? The Internet Protocol for Smart Objects Alliance. White paper "IP for Smart Objects" by A Dunkels & JP Vasseur. I am very proud to have received three prestigious awards in less than one year: the 2007 Xerox Chester Carlson award, the most prestigious award in the information sciences in Sweden, for my work on IP networking for embedded systems, the 2008 ACM EuroSys Roger Needham award for the best 2007 European doctoral thesis in the area of computer systems, and the 2008 Cor Baayen award.
